Members of Fairfax County Public Schools Board of Education are elected to four-year terms. Elections are held in November.

Twelve seats were up for election on November 5, 2019.

### Public participation in board meetings[edit]

The board maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:[5]

“  | Community Participation at Regular School Board Meetings

Fairfax County and city residents, FCPS staff, FCPS students, FCPS guardians who are non-Fairfax County residents, and FCPS business partners who want to address the Board may register to speak by submitting a request online at 6 a.m. starting on the fourth business day before the next regular business meeting.

At the time of registration, speakers must identify whether they wish to testify in-person, virtually, or submit a prerecorded video testimony. Once an option is selected, this choice cannot be changed. Registration will close 48 hours before the meeting.

There will be a total of 16 speaker slots per regular meeting:

* 10 slots shall be filled by speakers who choose to address the Board in-person or virtually.
* 3 of the in-person or virtual slots shall be reserved for current FCPS students
* 3 slots shall be reserved for video testimony

After the first 13 in-person or virtual speakers are determined through a random/lottery process, the next ten names as determined by the same random/lottery will be chosen as the waitlist and notified that they are on the waitlist to speak. Waitlist speakers must be present at the meeting to speak at the event of a no show.

Speaker substitutions are not permitted. A speaker may not yield their time to another individual before or during their remarks.[6]

## Teacher salaries[edit]

The following salary information was pulled from the district's teacher salary schedule. A salary schedule is a list of expected compensations based on variables such as position, years employed, and education level. It may not reflect actual teacher salaries in the district.

## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[10]

School year  | All (%)  | Asian/Pacific
Islander (%)  | Black (%)  | Hispanic (%)  | Native
American (%)  | Two or More
Races (%)  | White (%)

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### 2021 Recall effort[edit]

See also: Laura Cohen and Elaine Tholen recall, Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia (2021)

An effort to recall three of the 12 members of the Fairfax County Public Schools school board in Virginia began in October 2020. Dranesville District representative Elaine Tholen, Springfield District representative Laura Cohen, and at-large representative Abrar Omeish were named in the recall petitions.[15][16][17]

Recall supporters filed petitions against Cohen with the Fairfax County Circuit Court on December 15, 2021.[18] A circuit court judge dismissed the petition on February 23, 2022, saying the petition was "not based on facts sufficient to show probable cause for removal.” The dismissal ended the recall effort.[19]

Petitions were filed against Tholen in 2021. Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Richard Gardiner granted a motion from Tholen's attorney to dismiss the case on August 20, 2021. The judge said he dismissed the case “upon the Commonwealth’s position that the petition is not based on facts establishing probable cause for removal.”[20]

The effort started in response to the district's concurrent instruction program, which allowed students to choose between learning fully online or a hybrid option that included both online and in-person instruction. The program was started due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]

### 2018 Recall effort[edit]

See also: Sandra Evans recall, Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia (2018)

An effort to recall Sandra Evans from her position as the Mason District representative on the Fairfax County Public Schools school board in Virginia did not go to court in 2018. Recall supporters submitted petitions to the Fairfax County Circuit Court on December 20, 2018, but they requested the petitions be withdrawn on December 26, 2018, after Evans filed a motion seeking to void the petitions based on a separate ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court.[21][22]

The recall effort began after the board voted 7-4 to change the name of J.E.B. Stuart High School to Justice High School on October 26, 2017. J.E.B. Stuart was a general in the Confederate States Army, and proponents of the change said his name alienated ethnically diverse students. Evans represented the geographical area where the high school was located. She suggested the name Justice High School and authored the motion to change it. The vote ended a two-year debate that started when students at the school campaigned for a name change.[23][24][25]

Recall supporters said Evans ignored community input when she voted to change the high school's name as well as when she voted for the name Justice High School over Stuart High School, which received the most votes in a community survey. Evans said she spent an extensive amount of time reading through the survey responses on the name change issue and believed that the name Stuart High School would have continued to divide the community.[23][24] On December 19, 2018, Evans announced she would not seek re-election to the board in 2019.[26]
